Ocean Cleanup Project System 001 tow test explained

Ocean Cleanup Project has successfully initiated its 120-meter tow test unit towards its designated test pattern approximately 50 nautical miles outside of San Francisco’s Golden Gate. This is an important test before they deploy their complete system into the Great Pacific Garbage Patch later this summer.

Just in: the offshore crew made it back into the San Francisco Bay after more than two weeks testing the 120-meter unit in towing configuration. Test results will be shared as we process them. More explanation about the tow test: https://t.co/AbX58EeHUXpic.twitter.com/bIfW7qjT7j
